If you have a chance to go to a market in September, don’t miss the delicious and sweet prickly pears.
In Puglia they ripe in September and so when you go to the countryside you see these beautiful cactus plants with the red and orange fruit.
To pick the prickly pears you need to wear gloves because of the spines.
If you store them in a cool environment they last for about three months. In Puglia we usually serve them as a special fruit at Christmas time.
